Why Pokhara is a Must-Visit for UK Travellers
Set beside shimmering glassy Phewa Lake directly beneath the colossal snow-clad fluted triangle of sacred Machapuchare ('Fishtail' Peak, 6,993m), serene Pokhara delivers one of Asia's most astonishing mountain panoramas without requiring a single climbing crampon. Cruise wooden rowboats past island Hindu shrines, drink coffee watching paragliders lift over emerald hills, and enjoy Himalayan sunrise glows from hilltop Sarangkot.
